Mantram- 8. { Fruits  of  realization  of  "Brahmam"  }

Discussion-1. "Infinite  and  finite......"

That  Infinite  cannot  suffer  the  finite  in  itself;  from  the  stand-point  of  Infinite,  the  finite  is  not.

Example :-

1. The  "Sun"  knows  no  "darkness"  since  'light  cannot  suffer  darkness'.

2. The  'rope'  knows  no  'snake ( serpent )';

3. the 'post'  is  no  friend  of  the  'ghost'.

4. Nor  can  a  deluded  one  afford  to  see  the  post  so  long  as  he  is  in  delusion..

5.  He  is  not  ecognising  even  a  minute  portion  of  the  post.

6.  But  at  the  end  of  all  delusions  the  post  is  recognized,  the  ghost  goes  out  of  its  existence  by  itself.

7.  From  the  stand-point  of  the  true  knowledge  of  the  post,  we  can  certainly  say  that  the  post  is  the  essence  in  both  the  post  and  the  ghost,  the  ghost  being  but  a  trick  of  the  mind
